Qi Xue patted Lei Qi on the shoulder and said, "The environment here is suitable for these mutated centipedes and scorpions. You'll get used to it."
Lei Qi slumped his shoulders. "It's not that I'm afraid of the thing, I just find it disgusting. The liquid that comes out of its body, the smell makes me want to vomit."
Sang Luoluo was stunned for a moment, then said, "Is it possible that the liquid is poisonous?"
She smelled it too, and felt nauseous but didn't feel like vomiting. However, He Fei almost vomited once at first.
Qi Xue said, "Then let's all get tested in a bit to see if we've been poisoned. I also feel a little unwell; my stomach is churning."
He looked at Sang Luoluo and asked, "Are you alright?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "It's alright, the reaction wasn't severe."
After leaving the area, they found a relatively safe place. Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to clean everyone's armor. This time, she didn't use mineral water, but ordinary purified water that she had stored beforehand. Then they got into the car to disinfect and sterilize, and took off their protective suits to rest inside the car.
Sang Luoluo took out the first-aid kit.
Qi Xue skillfully checked everyone over and smiled, "They really are poisoned. Fortunately, the poisoning isn't severe. Everyone took proper precautions, so there's no danger. Let's rest first."
Sang Luoluo nodded, took out several bottles of mineral water, and said, "Drink more mineral water; it's good for your health."
Qi Xue rummaged through the medicine box and took out several antidotes for everyone to use.
Fortunately, everyone has everything they need now, so there aren't any major problems.
Chapter 228 Was that lightning just now? A ball of something appeared in his palm...
Several people gulped down bottled water, and Sang Luoluo took out a few more bottles, enough for everyone.
After using the medicine and drinking mineral water, the group felt much better. The nausea disappeared, and they returned to normal. It was already afternoon, and Sang Luoluo suggested that everyone rest and collect mutated mushrooms together that evening.
No one objected, Sang Luoluo took out a few cans of food for lunch.
Then, I took a nap in the afternoon.
While Sang Luoluo was asleep, Sang Yunpu sent her a message saying that Qi Feng had woken up and Chuanchuan was fine, but both of them had experienced some abnormalities and he suggested that they be observed in the hospital for two days before making any further decisions.
Sang Luoluo didn't see it. She woke up in the evening, her stomach growling, and it was time to eat. That's when she took out the canned food and let everyone eat.
It was during dinner that I discovered the news about Sang Yunpu.
I immediately called back and made a video call.
At this moment, Sang Yunpu was still in the hospital, Sang Luoluo immediately saw the background of the hospital ward behind him.
Qi Xue also came over, extremely worried.
Sang Yunpu's expression remained normal. He pointed the camera at the awake Qi Feng and Chuanchuan, and hurriedly said, "I didn't explain clearly when I sent the message. They've been acting strangely since they woke up. Don't worry, they're both physically fine. It's just that after being struck by lightning, they seem to have gained a new ability. When I came to check on them this morning, I was suddenly shocked and almost passed out."
Qi Feng, who was already able to get out of bed and walk freely, came over and said, "I don't know what happened either, but a mutation has occurred in my body. Look."
Qi Feng stretched out his hand towards the camera, and a ball of lightning appeared in his palm, crackling and popping before quickly disappearing.
He whispered, "You see, this is my new ability, related to being struck by lightning. Not only me, but Chuanchuan also has this ability, but it can't control it yet, so we can only keep it in an insulated cage for now."
Sang Luoluo and the others exchanged glances. "Was that lightning just now?"
Lei Qi said, "Yes, you're not seeing things."
Qi Xue exclaimed excitedly, "Then, brother, wouldn't you also have two evolutionary abilities? Since you can acquire lightning, maybe we'll have a chance to obtain a second evolutionary ability in the future?"
Qi Feng paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's possible, but we shouldn't take the risk. The odds are hard to say. I won't say more. The hospital is taking my and Chuanchuan's situation very seriously. We'll probably need to cooperate with them for various tests and experiments in the next couple of days. You guys must protect Sang Luoluo. Don't go deep into the forest before I get back."
His gaze swept over the group, and seeing that they were resting inside the carriage, he didn't ask any further questions. The carriage was definitely safe, and with Sang Luoluo's abilities and the strength of Qi Xue and the others, survival wouldn't be a problem.
He was relieved for the time being.
Sang Yunpu took the phone and said, "Remember to send us a message every day. I'll send you a message this afternoon. I was so worried when you didn't reply; I almost thought you'd run into some trouble."
Sang Luoluo calmly said, "Brother, you're overthinking it. We just didn't see it. Actually, we did find some in the wild, but never mind, I'll tell you later. I'll hang up now."
He Fei gestured that it was already dark outside, and now was the perfect time to throw the mineral water out.
Sang Luoluo understood. She directly filled a basin with Spirit Spring Water, and within a controllable range, used her Mental Power to pour it onto the ground, then stored it in her spatial storage. She then prepared another basin. This time, wanting to harvest more, Sang Luoluo poured six basins of water evenly onto the ground, not daring to pour too much, fearing that the mutated mushrooms would grow uncontrollably, and things wouldn't be so simple then.
Qi Xue also felt it was almost done. " He Fei, start recording now. I'll control the lights to turn on every five minutes."
He Fei said, "Don't worry."
What followed was a long wait. The spores nearby were plentiful, not only on the ground but also in the air. It had just rained, and a day later, the ground was still wet, perfectly meeting the growth needs of the mutated mushrooms. These mutated mushrooms did not disappoint them, and began to grow quietly at night.
The growth rate is also visible to the naked eye.
Sang Luoluo planned to rest for a while and disperse her senses. She still had work to do before dawn, so she went to sleep without worry.
Qi Xue also rested, so He Fei on night duty alone, which allowed them to take turns during the second half of the night.
Especially after a long day of work, everyone fell asleep quickly. Sang Luoluo sleeping, opened her senses and detected mutated animals nearby, some even eating mutated mushrooms. However, they posed no threat to their armored vehicles, as they did not eat steel or copper.
In her half-awake state, Sang Luoluo sensed two small mutated ants climbing onto the roof of the armored vehicle. He Fei noticed them, but he remained silent, ignoring the threat posed by the two ants. Sang Luoluo felt somewhat uncomfortable. After regaining her senses, she pulled the two ants into her spatial dimension and dealt with them before continuing to sleep.
In the latter half of the night, the mutated mushrooms had grown larger. Before dawn, Qi Xue woke up Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi. There were many more mutated mushrooms to harvest tonight than last night, and each one was exceptionally tall.
Sang Luoluo, Qi Xue, and Lei Qi got dressed and went out. He Fei was in the car, immediately turned on the headlights.
Lei Qi was on guard when he spotted a mutated animal nearby, and he shot it dead with a single shot.
" Luoluo, I'll go over there and mark the edible mutant mushrooms first. You can work on this side first."
Qi Xue knew Sang Luoluo's abilities; she could harvest things very quickly using her Mental Power, but it took her a long time to discern them.
She took an unmarked gun, carefully examined the mushrooms, and then marked the edible ones with conspicuous marks. Sang Luoluo harvested some of the mutated mushrooms and then headed towards Qi Xue, quickly harvesting them with her Mental Power and storing them in her spatial storage in one smooth motion.
Sang Luoluo followed closely behind Qi Xue. When a mutated animal appeared ahead, Qi Xue shot it dead with a single shot.
Lei Qi also marked quite a few edible mutant animals.
"There are many here too!
After finishing this part, Sang Luoluo continued harvesting on the other side until all the edible, low-radiation mutant mushrooms in the area were harvested.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He Fei recorded the whole process from inside the car and was just waiting for them to come back.
After finishing her work, it was still dark. Sang Luoluo thought she could go back and have breakfast and rest before going out to deal with the mutated animals.
Moreover, this matter is very important; I should report it to my Sang Tong first.
"Oh no, there are mutated animals coming from over there." Sang Luoluo in surprise. She could clearly sense a large number of mutated animals approaching within a 300-meter radius.
Sang Luoluo quickly identified the species. "Oh no, they're mutated ants. There are a lot of them."
Qi Xue said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's deal with these mutated ants first. We'll have to get rid of them sooner or later anyway, and since we've run into them, let's just take care of them."
Lei Qi said, "I know! It must be the sap left from the roots of the mutated mushrooms we harvested, and the scent emanating from the roots that attracted these mutated ants. If there are too many of them, can the three of us handle them?"
Sang Luoluo remained calm and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's try fighting first, and if it doesn't work, we can always run away. Everyone, be careful to protect yourselves and avoid being invaded by the spores."
Qi Xue had already found a good spot, high up, and Lei Qi also found a good spot nearby. Sang Luoluo simply suspended in mid-air, about seven or eight meters above the ground.
Seeing this, since ants like sweet things, Sang Luoluo simply threw a piece of highly radioactive honey on the ground, which she had obtained a couple of days ago.
The honey that Sang Luoluo threw down was quite effective, immediately attracting a large number of ants. The ants visibly moved faster. Sang Luoluo didn't know what to say, so she used her Mental Power to set up more than a dozen Crystal Core and started shooting at the mutated ants. Anyway, these mutated ants would be killed with Crystal Core once they were pulled into the space.
